Delhi, Who doesn’t love it when it pours! But you still might not see beaming smiles on the faces of Chennai people. An arrival of the northeast monsoon followed by heavy spells in the city was not welcomed as warmly as it should have for a heavy continuous downpour brings with it a number of woes and worries.

This was not just the case with heavy spells; short spells also lead to blockage at many areas. Seeing this some even went on a road roko, complaining about the authority’s negligence over civic amenities. But following the pattern every monsoon, this time too they were reassured that the problems would be temporary.
New Delhi, The Mumbai Yorkshire cricket match in Cape Town on Thursday was called off as rains spoilt the match. The umpires waited for one and a half hours and the two teams went in and out of the field twice, before the decision was taken. Two points thus went to each team. Mumbai had to play first as Andrew Gale decided to bowl. Mumbai scored 156 from 17.5 overs at the loss of six wickets. Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar raised hopes and opened the match but soon got run out(7) due to a mix with up Dwayne Smith. Dwayne hit some fours and sixes, made a score of 37 and hit a full toss straight into the hands of the leg fielder. Rohit Sharma also looked good in the beginning but he too got himself yorked by spinner Azeem Rafiq at 25. Both Dinesh Karthik and Ambati Ruyudu could hardly do anything on the field and Harbhajan and Kieron Pollard hit a couple of fours and sixes before they too gifted away their wickets to the well-deserved bowlers.
